Window Deflectors - Do Pre/post 2005 models have different size/shape doors ?! was created by ant0
Looking for some nice wind/rain deflectors and have found nice onces on a site but they are only listed as fitting up to 2005 models and they have a different deflector (not as nice) listed for the post 2005 model.
Did the doors/window opening change shape??
Or are the doors in fact the same and so the pre 2005 will fit say a 2010 ???
Cheers
Anthony

i don't know about the different door shapes but what i do know is when i bought an aftermarket set the lip that goes into the rubber was quite thick and my window had trouble closing. i ended up getting another set of Suzuki ones.

Thanks.
Having had both internal fitting and external (stick on) fitting ones on other cars I much prefer the external stick on ones as they don't mess about with window operation and I just prefer the look. The ones listed as pre 2005 are the external fitting ones I want and the post 2005 ones the internals I don't want. So looking to check if the pre 2005 ones will fit before I splash the cash
But if all else fails I'll settle for the internal fitting ones and get an official suzuki pair.

Kate has got a 02 soft top and mine is 2005 VVt, both have the same windows if that helps.
Fitted a set of team heko ones (in channel) on hers without problem.

i had 2 different sets on both my jimnys, both from the dealer
the first set, i got for my 2005 ddis jimny.
had a strip od adhesive on the outer side of the pplastic lip that goes in the frame. fited just perfect.
then , i got a new set for my 2001 non vvt jimny, and they suck.
also from the dealer, the dealer told me they where the first model available.
they came with a bunch of small metal spacers, that you insert inside the window frame, so that it clears up space so the window motor doesn't overwork itself.
this was the first problem. for some reason, the frame was so narrow (much narrower than in my previous jimny), that the spacers wouldnt fit. wouldn't work without them either,
so, ha had to get a screwdriver and forced the frame a bit so there would be enough space. took me a while to get it, because i had to figure out where to widden it for each of the spacers. took a lot of trial and error. by the time i finished, i was left with little bits missing from the ends of the wind deflectors....never again.
might try and souce some of the first ones i had, but for now it works. what amazed me was how narrow the frame was...not sure if susuki changed it over the years
